Cal Berkeley has hundreds of hours of good quality video of excellent course lectures. This is the biggest potential leap in education reform since 1954. I'm brushing up on the Physics course I slept through as a freshman.

If the reform you refer to is lessons sponsored by in class ads I am there.
I am watching this but it took me back to why I quit. The announcements part of class almost killed me.
How did you find this?
Reform as in free markets for learning, teaching styles, and performance. Most companies don't bother to advertise to the 18-24 crowd - the group just doesn't pay attention to ads.
You quit because of inefficient registration systems?
Original source for me was Wired magazine.
I'm so glad teachers didn't have computers when I was in school. VCRs were bad enough. Watching my profs trying to navigate Windows and open a video file would have driven me fricken crazy.
Good find. It truly is a golden age for the autodidacts.
They also have the syllabus and part of the required text on the web. Freedom of information make me giddy.

And all free? I'll have to dig around these. Easier than checking out "Great Courses" DVDs from the library.
